Goldner Associates, Inc. (the Company) respects individual privacy and strives to collect, use and disclose personal information in a manner that is compliant with the laws of the countries in which we do business. This Safe Harbor Privacy Policy sets forth the privacy principles that Goldner Associates, Inc. follows with respect to transfers of personal information from the European Economic Area (EEA) (which includes the twenty-seven member states of the European Union (EU) plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and from Switzerland to the United States.
Safe Harbor:
The European Union’s (EU) comprehensive privacy legislation, the Directive on Data Protection (95/46/EC, the “Directive”) became effective in October 1998. The privacy legislation of Switzerland (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP) became effective in June 1992. Both privacy laws require that transfers of personal information take place only to countries that provide an “adequate” level of privacy protection.
In order to bridge the differences in the approaches to privacy employed by the United States (US), the EU, and Switzerland, the US Department of Commerce has made separate agreements with the European Commission (June 2000) and the Federal Data Protection and Information Commission of Switzerland (December 2008) on a set of data protection principles and frequently asked questions (the “Safe Harbor Privacy Principles”) to enable US companies to satisfy the requirement that adequate protection be given to personal information transferred from the EU or Switzerland to the US.
It is the policy of Goldner Associates, Inc. to respect personal information that is collected or maintained by Goldner Associates, Inc. or on behalf of our customers. In the furtherance of our commitment to personal privacy protection, Goldner Associates, Inc. certifies and adheres to the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor and the U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor as agreed to by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Scope:
This policy applies to all personal information in any format including electronic, paper, or verbal, transferred from the EU or Switzerland to Goldner Associates, Inc. Information regarding Safe Harbor, as well as Goldner Associates, Inc.’s certification status, can be found at: http://www.export.gov/safeharbor/index.asp.
Definitions:
Goldner Associates, Inc. means Goldner Associates, Inc., Inc., its predecessors, successors, subsidiaries, divisions and groups in the United States.
Personal Information means any information that identifies or describes an identified or identifiable living natural person. “Personal Information” may include, for example, name, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, mailing addresses or any information that is capable of being associated with a particular identifiable individual.
